Monument to Admiral F.F. Ushakov

In 1996, in the year of the 300th anniversary of the Russian Navy, a small monument to the admiral was unveiled in Rybinsk on Stoyalaya Square, which is a bust of F.F. Ushakov mounted on a granite column. It is noteworthy that in its upper part there are bronze bas-reliefs with fragments of naval battles that glorified his name: Kaliakria, Corfu, Tendra. Surprisingly, the fact is that throughout his long service, the famous naval commander did not lose a single battle, did not lose a single ship, and not a single one of his subordinates was captured by the enemy. At the same time, Ushakov distinguished himself not only by military exploits – he directly participated in the drafting of the first constitution for the Greek Republic of the Seven Islands (1800-1815), liberated by his squadron from the French occupation.

A few years ago, the territory where the monument was erected was given the name Ushakov Boulevard. In 2018, the boulevard, as well as the adjacent Stoyalaya Street, underwent a full-scale reconstruction aimed at restoring the historical appearance of the 19th century. The fountain here is decorated in the form of a globe, with continents on its surface. Anyone can spin it around their axis.
